Christmas Day without you.

Christmas Day without you…
I think it’s important to reach out
and try to say the words.

I know Joshua loved to travel the world,
but no matter where he was or where,
we were we’d always be connected am sure that’s the same for all who knew him? All around the world.

Now you’re gone—gone forever,
yet always on our minds.

Christmas without your smile and laughter;
it still feels like yesterday
you were hanging bubbles on our trees.

This pain and sadness never gets easier
It just moves with us each day & forever now you’re gone.

I’m still struggling to put words to this grief.
All I know is how important it is to keep talking—and even more importantly, to keep listening to one another.
Mental health matters.

🤍It’s OK to Talk 🤍

Mental health affects us all, and too many good men are losing their lives to suicide.

It’s OK to talk. 🗣️
And just as important - it’s OK to listen 👂🏻

Be that one person who truly cares.
When you ask, “Are you OK?” — be ready to hear the truth.
If they say, “No, actually I’m not,”
say, “That’s okay — I’ve got time. Let’s chat.”

Grab a coffee, a beer, a cold drink whatever it takes.
Make it happen.
That simple moment could save a life.

Let’s stop the stigma.
Let’s speak up.
Because it’s always, always OK to talk. 💬💙

Hey all, I hope you are all well and for those that attended, I hope you enjoyed the live performance of the Life & Soul on Tues 23/9 and Friday 26/9 in the JVL exhibition space written by the amazing Chris O’Connor.

Chris is trying to adapt this into a graphic novel and has a crowdfunded setup to raise funds to make this happen. If this is something that you would like to support then see the link below. I have been fortunate to see the first x10 pages in development and it does look really amazing. Chris’s details are below if you have any further questions. Link 🔗 in bio
